Rika's First Fragment - Himatsubushi-hen: The Ultimate Higurashi Timeline

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Higurashi: When They Cry) as a vast history after the origin of Hanyuu Furude in Kotohogushi-hen. A majority of the events in the series happen during World War 2, and there is one that happens before our loops begin. Today, we'll discuss the crashing of American Howard Loverock in Hinamizawa during World War 2, Oni involving Oryou Sonozaki's backstory, and the first official arc in the timeline: Himatsubushi-hen, or the Time Wasting Arc. Join me today as we continue to form our timeline to understand what exactly is happening in this horror-filled series.

Welcome to a brand new series called the "Ultimate Higurashi Timeline," where once a month I will be going through every arc in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni catalogue. Whether the arc belongs to a console, or manga, or visual novel, or its anime only; I will be going through ALL of them, and deciding if they are either canon or non-canon by putting them into one, coherent timeline. The purpose of this series is to finally end any and all misinformation for the series by making it all readily available.

If you'd like to purchase one of those amazing Higurashi charms, here is the link to my friend Rei's store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/rouifer?ref...

A huge thanks to Lambdadelto, for having uploaded all of Himatsubushii-hen to YouTube. Without their kind act of finding and making the story widely available, this video would have never been possible.

A special thanks to my friend Ryan for always reviewing the stuff I throw out and script, without him most of this videos would not exist. I'd also like to thank Sam, Beans, and Mimi for peeping my script to make sure it wasn't lame.

Higurashi Gou and Higurashi Sotsu probably connect to Umineko, but who in the fragments knows if it'll happen? Ryukishi07 is a smart man that tries to bring together the When They Cry series, with titles like Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Umineko No Naku Koro Ni, and Ciconia No Naku Koro Ni - but who knows if they all connect. Bess Sonozaki asks Should you watch Higurashi When They Cry, and personally I think that's a great idea. The openings for the series created by Asaka and Ayane are very enjoyable, especially Analogy for Higurashi Sotsu.

Higurashi Sotsu has some interesting reactions for the full episodes, and I really enjoyed seeing what happened with Rina. Although I promise Umineko isn't that long, and we will discover Who is Frederica Bernkastel.

I love you guys
